I have an aliasing anomaly when drawing in a custom gui external.

Currently the text layout is created and added to a jbox_layer.

I've already tried creating the text in the paint routine, using both jtextlayout and using the higher level jtext .

Here are two pngs showing the difference between text aliasing in the max UIbutton object, and my gui object.

Both are using Arial 12 regular (though I have tried many fonts, they all alias quite badly).

Further, there is no magnification or zooming setup in my external.

Another option I considered is to make pngs of all my buttons. Unfortunately I need the ability to have user defined button names.

If anyone could chime in with any thoughts on this, I would be more than interested.

I was drawing the text in a transparent layer.

I'm now drawing text into layers with background colours and the text aliasing is much improved.
